Note: CP doesn't state that Anne was a Baroness, as other sources indicate (though perhaps incorrectly). CP apparently doesn't recognize any of the titles of Anne's ancestors after the 1st Baron, John Ferrers, as they make Anne's husband (Walter Devereux) the 2nd Baron Ferrers of Chartley (but number it as a new creation, not inherited from Anne, but then why did they name Walter "Baron Ferrers" if not inherited from Anne?). CP does this even though several of Anne's ancestors were known as "Lord Ferrers of Chartley", and the title of Baron is hereditary.
